Reviews for Bestop Supertop Ultra Squareback Soft Top for 18-24 Jeep Wrangler JL Unlimited 4-Door
Ease of use
Fantastic look. Not too difficult to install-a bit time consuming. Easy to maintain and change from safari to completed closed to sunrider modes.
Couldn't be more pleased with the Supertop Ultra. Installed on 2018 JLU. Installation was around 4.5 hours. PS I'm an accountnt. Yes, you need an extra set of hands at times. So, invited a friend. The 9 screws for top of #6 bar should be Torx. Phillips head screws did not cooperate at all. I ended up boring the holes out just a bit so the screws would go in. Otherwise, you'll strip the Phillips head screws, as I did the first one. I was surprised that ALL the screws weren't Torx. There's even Allen wrench screws. Regardless.... As we attempted to latch the front, it was about 3/8 to 1/2 short. So I got in the back, pushed the entire top forward as my friend was seated in front seat, latched the top. Note: We have the Sunrider Top and didn't have this issue. I realize the top has to be as tight as a drum. Hopefully, over time, it'll loosen up enough to not require two people to latch the front. This is actually my wife's Jeep. I'm sure she won't be able to latch the top at the mall by herself right now.
I can say, at 75 mph, the top is very quiet. I was expecting quite a bit of noise, yet it was surprisingly quiet.
I'd recommend this top, BUT, only if you have a good friend to help. The video BESTOP has on YouTube is excellent. Watch it several times. You'll be glad you did. Enjoy!
This is an amazing softop. It's on my wife's jeep and we live in New England. After the winter season I swap the hardtop for this setup and it's a simple job for her to pop up the front section. The rear section is a breeze too once she got the system down on removing the panels. Well worth the money. Good quality product
Best soft top I have ever had in 20 years. Great fabric, nice design, I will probably never put the hard top back on again. The install was not hard, just lots of parts and lots of different sized fasteners. It took about 4 hours from hard top to done, but there are a few steps that need a second set of hands.
Agree with last two reviews that I read. Installation is NOT easy, and I am very mechanically inclined. Two big negatives on the installation. One, the included instructions listed different sport bracket numbers than what I was provided which created a time delay while I verified that I had the correct brackets. Two, the small phillips head screws for the "twill-to-bow" installation are JUNK. Too much torque required for the phillips head. Should be a Torx head or similar. Bestop should spend an extra $1 on better hardware for this $2,000 top. Material appears to be high quality though which is why I still gave the 5star rating.
Great top and works awesome. Like the other posts, was not an easy install and I am pretty mechanically inclined. Took about 4-5 hours and a lot of frustration. The instructions that came with it were terrible and I ended up looking up a video on youtube to install. I know at one point there was an install offer for around 100.00. If I could go back in time, I would have paid it. The twill is of great quality and it is very easy to operate all of the different set ups. It looks so much cleaner than some of the less expensive tops I have seen on other Jeeps. Well worth the extra money.
Installation was not easy. I'm very capable, and it took me over 5 hours, with another pair of hands needed at times. FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS STEP BY STEP. Installation aside, the top is very high quality and the fit is great. It looks custom! Operation is easy as well. I'm glad I made the purchase and got one before they were out of stock, as I see now for a 3 month wait. Quadratec had outstanding customer service - thank you!!
This is not a level 2 with a 1 to 2 hrs to install. It took us 4 +hrs to put together and install. Fits and looks great! Can’t wait to go topless! Hope it is easier to do than the one I had on my 2016 Jeep
Looks to be good quality
